Don't do that! It's recommended to put working copies on local drives.

Well, the file ...\.svn\entries is part of the metadata of a working
copy, and the name is perfectly valid. I think this is a side-effect of
keeping the working copy on a network drive.

It's not really a bug, I guess the server of the network drive is
somehow interfering.
